Hi guys as topic says I purchased my rays te37 time attacks earlier today and has rays/volks printing on the casting but the owner says it doesn't have stickers or I think he maybe can't find them on inaidw of the barrels, he advertised them as 18x11+18 now mind you guys these are Goinf on an r32 Gtr with rolled guards, I personally and few other guys think these aren't 11" as they have 265 tyres all around and aren't even that stretched, some people said for a 265 to be wrapped around an 11" wheel will need to be really stretched as 295s are recommended for them, here is a pic

No they won't fit. Tyre walls meant to be vertical. What is the point of buying good wheels that won't fit your car and then putting stupidly small tyres on them? If you want to run 265s a set of 9in wheels will do it.If you want to run 11in wheels get some 295s as you say and get a panelbeater to make you some massive guards.

LOL.

265 on an 11" is already eh and cheap..... but when you look closely, they stretched nankangs T_T.

If you didn't know, Nankangs are very very average tyres.

You will have a lot of trouble fitting them to your car.
18x10.5 +22 with 265/35/18 is probably the better fit.

Yeah they look like 11" wide with those 265 tyres stretched that far. Those sidewalls are almost at 45°. OP doesn't really care about grip nor performance it seems.

Get adjustable upper arms front and rear, run about -3° to -4° camber all round then slam it. Don't forget to sticker bomb one front guard.

So this is your reason for not going ahead with buying my Volk GTC's.

I mistakenly thought you were looking for a set of rims that fit a 32 GTR, not that you were looking for a set of rims that wouldn't !

Here I was trying to convince you that my rims were built for GTR's, fit and sit flush with no scrub.

Doh! - Now I realise I must have seemed stoopid to you.

You should have started off telling me you were after heooge camber & stretch/stance, didn't care about legal, performance or safety.

Then I could have just ignored instead of wasting time. Sorry mate I'm not a fan of that particular style/look and lack of driveability.

Damn these kids move on quickly these days. Back in my day, it was all about neon lights and candy apple paint.

My days too..

You'll be surprised actually. Neon lights are coming back...

Well.. LED lights.. and not so much colour... more a "glow" effect.

Anyways, back on topic, have sent you a pm OP.

Some like to cruise in their lowrider and some want to race at the track.

We all have different taste.

I probly dont like your fav colour, but who cares?

So "what fits" is up to you.

Do what pleases YOU.

You're right up to a point - neons, stickers, etc are a matter of choice but excessively stretched tyres have the potential to make the driver a danger to others.

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
